In a kingdom cursed to turn people into dragons, two teens from opposite worlds, each with nothing left to lose, form an uneasy alliance. Told in dual perspectives, this sweeping debut follows their search for redemption and the slow-burning bond that could save them both. Now available in paperback!Every month, the kingdom of Florent braces for the Ignition: a solar event that turns ordinary humans into vicious dragon shifters. And anyone can be a dragon's next victim.Claire knows this all too well because the Ignition consumed her and her father, her town, and the life she thought she'd have. Now, she's scraping by on her wits as part of a sisterhood of thieves-lying, stealing, her heart locked tight-until she tracks down a disgraced dragon slayer who may be the one person who can give her back the life she once had. Abel has been shunned by the prestigious Slayers Guild for conducting research that's too...unorthodox to condone. But there's no one Claire trusts more than a rulebreaker, and that research might be the one thing that could help her. So when Abel reveals he is hunting again, Claire tries to hire him under false pretenses. Abel, however, is reluctant to accept a job from a criminal, no matter how charming she is. And yet...he really needs the money. Together, Claire and Abel will race through Florent and uncover dangerous secrets in their quests for forgiveness-and survival. But that knowledge may cost them the very thing they've grown desperate to protect: each other.
